Klipt 0.5.0
Klipt now runs on Linux, and the library understands every file it produces.
Everything you export shows up in the library
- GIF, WebP, and audio exports (M4A, MP3 — plus WAV, OGG, FLAC, Opus) now appear in the overview alongside your videos, each tagged with its format.
- The configured output folder is scanned too, so exports land in the library no matter where they are written; files in the output root group under an "Exports" label.
- GIF and WebP cards show a still first frame and animate while hovered. Clicking one opens a viewer with Copy, Reveal in folder, Rename, and Delete.
- Audio files get a waveform card with duration, and open the editor in audio-only mode: waveform stage, region trimming, lossless M4A or MP3 output.
- A Type filter (All media / Videos / GIFs / Audio) appears once the library holds mixed media.
Linux support
- Klipt now builds and packages for Linux: grab the .deb or AppImage below.
- Copy-to-clipboard works via wl-copy (Wayland) or xclip (X11); trash/restore uses the freedesktop trash.
- The WebKitGTK DMA-BUF renderer is disabled by default on Linux — this is the known cause of the app opening as a black window on NVIDIA/Wayland setups.
Quality of life
- The library refreshes itself: a filesystem watcher notices new recordings and exports the moment they land — no refresh button needed.
- Press ? for a keyboard-shortcut overlay.
- The export toast now has a Copy button: the saved file goes straight to the clipboard for pasting into Discord or chat.
Performance and housekeeping
- The render caches (thumbnails, filmstrips, waveforms, probes) are now capped at 512 MB with oldest-first eviction; previously they grew without bound.
- GIF/WebP cards cost zero ffmpeg work: the webview decodes them natively.
